*sigh* This reminds me of the panic talk from folks on the left everytime a Republican
wins.  When Reagan won, there was all of this paniced talk about how he was going
to run in and press the button.  He couldn't wait to start WWIII.  Blah, blah,
blah.  All the panic talk was a bunch of BS as Reagan had no such desire. 

So take a deep breath and watch some Tenchi (or other anime).  ;-D

Which President Bush would have won this time.  Kerry would have liked to have used
the Electoral College to challenge Ohio if it had been close.  *shrugs*  I like the
EC because it gives the states power.  That's what it was designed for.

Personally, I'm glad the election is over so my phone won't be ringing off the hook
with election ads and my TV won't be poluted with "Bush is an idiot" or "Kerry is
a flip-flopper". Yay!
